Summary

"One of the twentieth century's most powerful - and controversial - works, The Waste Land was published in the desolate wake of the First World War. This definitive edition of T.S. Eliot's masterpiece presents a new and authoritative version of the poem along with all the essays Eliot wrote as he was composing The Waste Land (seven of them never before published in book form). The volume is enriched with period photographs and a London map of locations mentioned in the poem: the streets, banks, churches, gardens, cafes, hotels, and parks of Eliot's urban landscape."--Jacket
